Ajiboye identified social anxiety as one of the mental health consequences of social media addiction.

According to him, social anxiety is the inability to relate with other people considering that it has displaced offline relationships.

The psychologist stated that another consequence of social media addiction is emotional suppression or denial, a situation, which makes people to disguising that all is well on social media.

He listed other mental consequences to include stress, lack of sleep, cyber bullying (such as critical comments), and peer pressure (the fear of missing out).

Ajiboye said that one of the physical health challenges of social media addiction was Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which is the wrist or hands or fingers being strained.

Others he said include: eye problems, lack of exercise or sedentary lifestyle; loss of valuable sleep due to social media leading to fatigue and distraction explaining that a person could get hurt when they text and walk.
